The Paella rice was undercooked and not seasoned (no salt). The fish stew, which was highly touted recently in the Anchorage press, was not seasoned, and the veggies were under-cooked. However, the fish was way over cooked. Service: We asked a question. The waiter disappeared into the kitchen to ask. By the time he returned with the answer, we decided... More

We had heard good comments about this place so decided to check if out for our anniversary dinner. First, the good: The tapas appetizer was very good, and my wifes scallops were very tasty (an evening special). She had the caesar salad, which she said was tasty. The bad: I ordered a filet mignon. I think we all know what... More

We love the place. We got a Groupon, and enjoyed the food and service. Then we went back for our 3 year anniversary and again great service. We loved the Rockfish, the staff, and overall great!

We've been to Pepe's many times and have always loved it. BUT... We went last month and the food was still great but service was a disaster; slow, forgetful, out of common beers and wines. We were more then willing to give them an "off night" (because the food is still very good), so we went back last night and... More

The food was delicious. We had mussels for an appetizer, and shared two entres: halibut with a morel mushrrom sauce, and scallops wrapped in proscuitto. The food was very, very good. However, the prices were off the charts. As my husband said, "they could charge these prices if the restaurant were at the top of a mountain."

A group of us friends have been trying out different restaurants in the Anchorage area with a review book in hand. We used a Groupon to try out this place, and were quite pleased with our dining experience. White table clothes, flaming fireplace added to the classy, Alaskan atmoshere. We had no issues with the service. Two from our party... More

Ever since Turnagain House was under new ownership, my husband & I had wanted to check it out for a very long time. Remembering the good ol' days of Turnagain House, I really hoped that this "new" owner who is classically trained would make a great place even better. Finally, the opportunity presented itself (thanks to Groupon!) and away we... More

We bought a Groupon that purported to deliver $133 worth of food for $50. The Groupon required advance reservations (do they turn some Groupon people away even though they have open tables?) and we called eight times between 4 and 6 o'clock (Recording: "please call after 3 pm.") We decided to try an end-around by reserving through opentable.com and putting... More

We looked forward to a great seafood meal along with the great view. Oysters were very good. Service was OK. Pepe's creation of the Spanish seafood dish, Paella, was poor, at best. At $30 each it advertised shrimp, mussels, halibut, salmon and scallops. We each got four small shrimp, two mussels, two small clams, small chunks of halibut and salmon... More
